Summary

This study compares standardized Shilajit (VCA-964) with non-standardized samples using phytochemical screening, FTIR, SEM-EDX, HRMS, and antioxidant assays. Standardized Shilajit showed no toxic heavy metals, higher phenolic content, stronger antioxidant capacity, and better morphology, making it safer and more potent for nutraceutical use.

Key Findings:

  • Heavy metals absent in standardized Shilajit (Pb, Hg, Cd not detected).
  • Higher phenolic content and antioxidant potential in standardized extracts.
  • Better structural uniformity and enriched bioactive compounds.
  • Improved safety and therapeutic potential for nutraceutical applications.
